Werewolves are humanoid carnivores, the ultimate combination of wolves and humans. They feed on prey found nearby, which, due to the increase of urban areas, are mostly people. When they devour the flesh of victim they leave a recognizable trace on the prey: they always eat the heart, although they do also sometimes eat more of the body. The infection only occurs after a werewolf bites a victim, the way werewolves continue the spread of lycanthropy. However, they are also capable of having children who are born werewolves.
In their werewolf form, their bodies change rapidly, changing into a fitting definition of predators. Their nails increase to sharp, long claws, fangs increase in size and eyes resemble those of a wolf rather than of a human. When they are in wolf-form, they appear human except for their yellow eyes, fangs, and claws, and they use their superior abilities and enhanced senses to hunt their prey.
Regular werewolves can only turn into a werewolf during nights coinciding with the peak of the lunar cycle during their sleep. The people affected by the disease have a short-term memory loss, often leaving them in confusion of blood soaked or ripped clothes that happened during the night. Despite having no control over and during their transformation, certain fragments of their personality and fears can be imbibed by the werewolf's mind, especially strong ones. Aside from hunger, suppressed fears or aggression can drive them to kill in their beast form. As such, a werewolf's attack may be controlled by these emotions, depending on which one is dominant. Even the strong emotion of love can play a role, causing a werewolf to bite a potential mate.
In addition, werewolves heal very quickly from wounds, unless they are caused by silver. They are also very strong and agile. A bite from a werewolf is likely always infectious and passes on the lycanthropy disease. There is currently no known cure for lycanthropy.
Finally, there is a secondary species of werewolves known as "Pure Breeds". They are very rare and, frankly, not much is known about them. But you could guess that they would be tougher to deal with. Mainly because there have been rumors that they might be immune to silver.
